Abstract

The concept of dividend of a coalition introduced by Harsanyi in 1959 within the framework of transferable utility games is a flexible and powerful concept that can be used to characterize different solution concepts, including random order values and weighted Shapley values. Many authors have contributed to that question. Here, we offer a synthesis of their work, with a particular attention to restrictions on dividend distributions, starting with the seminal contributions of Vasil'ev (1978), Hammer, Peled and Sorensen (1977) and Derks, Haller and Peters (2000), until the recent paper of van den Brink, van der Laan and Vasil'ev (2014).
